Managing your project's users

You can add a user to your project using the Google Developers Console . When you add a user to your Google Compute Engine project, it gives them access to all Google Compute Engine resources in that project, as described by their roles such as viewer, writer, or owner. For example, if you add a user as an owner, they will be able to add and modify Google Compute Engine resources in the project.

1. Log in to Google Developers Console .
2. Choose the project for which you want to manage team members.
3. Click Permissions , near the bottom of the navigation menu.
4. To add a new team member, click the Add Member button.
5. To delete a team member, check the box next to their account and click Remove .
6. To change a user's permissions, select a different role in the Permission column.

You can choose from these three user roles:

Letting users SSH into your instances
